Roubini : We Are going to have a Massive Fiscal Drag in 2012

Nouriel Roubini , Roubini Global Economics chairman & co-founder, explains why there's a need for more fiscal stimulus, and the "perfect storm" of threats that could slam the economy by 2013. "what i've been saying whether or not the fiscal drive is next year, governments are cutting spending, phasing out federal spending and income tax and employment benefits, $200 million next year alone and 1.5% gdp implies even weaker growth. i'm in favor of fiscal services but you need a medium term plan to cut spending and raise taxes and you should have a fiscal drag and maybe even a fiscal stimulus." Roubini said
